Reditabs Viagra Bishop Paiute Tribal Council Update The Bishop Indian Tribal Council wishes all of the community a Happy New Year 2018. In reflection of last years efforts to improve the livelihood of our Tribal Members through the growth of Tribal services, we anticipate a successful 2018 ahead. Contin- ue to stay updated with the good things happening in our community by continuing to read our monthly newsletter articles and attend tribal meetings. A new way to com- municate concerns and give feedback on programs directly to the Tribal Council will be to attend our new Monthly CIM (Community Input Meetings), starting with the first one on January 16, 2018 @ 6pm in the Tribal Chambers. Our monthly CIM’s will be an open discussion with the BITC talking about current efforts and concerns the commu- nity may have. As always, If you have any suggestions or comments to assist us in these efforts, please contact Brian Poncho @ 760-873-3584 Ext.1220. Law Enforcement - The Tribal Police Department has began efforts to identify Non-Indians in our community who are participating in drug activity on the Reservation. Once identified the Council will begin efforts of removal off of Tribal Lands. These efforts have been a result of continuous concerns from our tribal community. If you have any concerns about persons Tribal/Non-Tribal on the reservation who may be involved in drug activi- ty please contact our Tribal Police Department. Tribal Police Chief Hernandez can be contacted @ (760) 920-2759 New Gas Station- Plans for a new gas station on the corner of See Vee Ln and Line St have been developed throughout the year 2016-2017 and will begin by Spring 2018. In 2017 the BPDC applied for a grant from EDA (U.S. Economic Development Administration) for 2.3 Million dollars to assist the Tribe in construction of our second gas station and if awarded will help us to include a car wash and deli. The remaining funds of construc- tion will come from funds that have been saved by our existing gas station, at this time we are looking at a fully funded tribal and grant funded project. The BPTC also in- sists on using tribal employees and Inside This Issue membership as priority to construct as Public Works P.2 TUP P.3 many aspects of this project as possible.

BISHOP PAIUTE TRIBAL NEWSLETTER January 2018 BISHOP PAIUTE TRIBAL NEWSLETTER January 2018 Continue from front page USDA Security Agreement- The USDA security agreement was put into place during the establishment of the USDA Loan Agreement with Toiyabe Indian Health Clinic. The Security Agreement originally stated that if Toiyabe was to fall into de- fault, all Bishop Paiute Tribal Assets could be available to ensure the USDA Loan was paid. The BPTC and BPDC were working in collaboration to get the proper amendments agreed upon with the D.C. office of USDA that would specify a specific account of the tribe as security for the loan. This amendment would free up remaining Tribal accounts for use as collateral on future loans if necessary. As of December 20th 2017, the Resolution Adopting the updated security agreement has been passed. RAMAH Settlement Allocation ($669,091.71)- As stated during the September General Council Meeting, the Tribe is in the process of identifying areas of need for additional funding to support our tribal programs. In December we began reviewing the budgets with all Tribal Departments. The BITC will be publishing a Budget (in an upcoming Tribal Newsletter) for the proposed uses of the RAMAH Settlement Allocation for community review and comments before finalizing and implementing the budget.

    Instructionally Related Activities Report Linda O’Hirok, ESRM ESRM 463 Water Resources Management Owens Valley Field Trip, March 4-6, 2016 th And 5 Annual Water Symposium, April 25, 2016 DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTIVITY; The students in ESRM 463 Water Resources Management participated in a three-day field trip (March 4-6, 2016) to the Owens Valley to explore the environmental and social impacts of the City of Los Angeles (LA DWP) extraction and transportation of water via the LA Aqueduct to that city. The trip included visiting Owens Lake, the Owens Valley Visitor Center, Lower Owens Restoration Project (LORP), LA DWP Owens River Diversion, Alabama Gates, Southern California Edison Rush Creek Power Plant, Mono Lake and Visitor Center, June Mountain, Rush Creek Restoration, and the Bishop Paiute Reservation Restoration Ponds and Visitor Center. In preparation for the field trip, students received lectures, read their textbook, and watched the film Cadillac Desert about the history of the City of Los Angeles, its explosive population growth in the late 1800’s, and need to secure reliable sources of water. The class also received a summary of the history of water exploitation in the Owens Valley and Field Guide. For example, in 1900, William Mulholland, Chief Engineer for the City of Los Angeles, identified the Owens River, which drains the Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains, as a reliable source of water to support Los Angeles’ growing population. To secure the water rights, Los Angeles secretly purchased much of the land in the Owens Valley. In 1913, the City of Los Angeles completed the construction of the 223 mile, gravity-flow, Los Angeles Aqueduct that delivered Owens River water to Los Angeles.

  • Eocene Origin of Owens Valley, California
    geosciences Article Eocene Origin of Owens Valley, California Francis J. Sousa College of Earth, Oceans, and Atmospheric Sciences, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331, USA; [email protected] Received: 22 March 2019; Accepted: 26 April 2019; Published: 28 April 2019 Abstract: Bedrock (U-Th)/He data reveal an Eocene exhumation difference greater than four kilometers athwart Owens Valley, California near the Alabama Hills. This difference is localized at the eastern fault-bound edge of the valley between the Owens Valley Fault and the Inyo-White Mountains Fault. Time-temperature modeling of published data reveal a major phase of tectonic activity from 55 to 50 Ma that was of a magnitude equivalent to the total modern bedrock relief of Owens Valley. Exhumation was likely accommodated by one or both of the Owens Valley and Inyo-White Mountains faults, requiring an Eocene structural origin of Owens Valley 30 to 40 million years earlier than previously estimated. This analysis highlights the importance of constraining the initial and boundary conditions of geologic models and exemplifies that this task becomes increasingly difficult deeper in geologic time. Keywords: low-temperature thermochronology; western US tectonics; quantitative thermochronologic modeling 1. Introduction The accuracy of initial and boundary conditions is critical to the development of realistic models of geologic systems. These conditions are often controlled by pre-existing features such as geologic structures and elements of topographic relief. Features can develop under one tectono-climatic regime and persist on geologic time scales, often controlling later geologic evolution by imposing initial and boundary conditions through mechanisms such as the structural reactivation of faults and geomorphic inheritance of landscapes (e.g., [1,2]).

  • The History of Valentine Camp by Mary Farrell
    History of Valentine Camp Mary M. Farrell Trans-Sierran Archaeological Research P.O. Box 840 Lone Pine, CA 93545 November 7, 2015 Prepared for Valentine Eastern Sierra Reserve University of California, Santa Barbara, Natural Reserve System Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory 1016 Mt. Morrison Road Mammoth Lakes, CA 93546 Abstract Located in Mammoth Lakes, California, Valentine Camp and the nearby Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory form the Valentine Eastern Sierra Reserve, a field research station in the University of California's Natural Reserve System. The University’s tenure at Valentine Camp began over 40 years ago, but the area’s history goes back thousands of years. Before the arrival of Euroamericans in the nineteenth century, the region was home to Paiutes and other Native American tribes. Land just east of Valentine Camp was surveyed under contract with the United States government in 1856, and mineral deposits in the mountains just west of Valentine Camp brought hundreds of miners to the vicinity in the last decades of the nineteenth century. Even as mining in the region waned, grazing increased. The land that became Valentine Camp was patented in 1897 by Thomas Williams, a rancher and capitalist who lived in Owens Valley. It was Williams’s son, also Thomas, who sold the 160 acres to Valentine Camp’s founders. Those founders were very wealthy, very influential men in southern California who could have, and did, vacation wherever they wanted. Anyone familiar with the natural beauty of Mammoth Lakes would not be surprised that they chose to spend time at Valentine Camp. Valentine Camp was donated to the University of California Natural Land and Water Reserve System (now the Natural Reserve System) in 1972 to ensure the land’s continued protection.

  • Boyhood Days in the Owens Valley 1890-1908
    Boyhood Days in the Owens Valley 1890-1908 Beyond the High Sierra and near the Nevada line lies Inyo County, California—big, wild, beautiful, and lonely. In its center stretches the Owens River Valley, surrounded by the granite walls of the Sierra Nevada to the west and the White Mountains to the east. Here the remote town of Bishop hugs the slopes of towering Mount Tom, 13,652 feet high, and here I was born on January 6, 1890. When I went to college, I discovered that most Californians did not know where Bishop was, and I had to draw them a map. My birthplace should have been Candelaria, Nevada, for that was where my parents were living in 1890. My father was an engineer in the Northern Belle silver mine. I was often asked, "Then how come you were born in Bishop?" and I replied, "Because my mother was there." The truth was that after losing a child at birth the year before, she felt Candelaria's medical care was not to be trusted. The decline in the price of silver, the subsequent depression, and the playing out of the mines in Candelaria forced the Albright family to move to Bishop permanently. We had a good life in Bishop. I loved it, was inspired by its aura, and always drew strength and serenity from it. I have no recollection of ever having any bad times. There weren't many special things to do, but what- ever we did, it was on horseback or afoot. Long hours were spent in school.

  • Owens Valley Groundwater Basin Bulletin 118
    South Lahontan Hydrologic Region California’s Groundwater Owens Valley Groundwater Basin Bulletin 118 Owens Valley Groundwater Basin • Groundwater Basin Number: 6-12 • County: Inyo & Mono • Surface Area: 661,000 acres (1,030 square miles) Basin Boundaries and Hydrology This groundwater basin underlies Benton, Hammil, and Chalfant Valleys in Mono County and Round and Owens Valleys in Inyo County. This basin is bounded by nonwater-bearing rocks of the Benton Range on the north, of the Coso Range on the south, of the Sierra Nevada on the west, and of the White and Inyo Mountians on the east (Jennings 1958; DWR 1964; Matthews and Burnett 1965; Strand 1967; Danskin 1998) This system of valleys is drained by several creeks to the Owens River, which flows southward into the Owens (dry) Lake, a closed drainage depression in the southern part of the Owens Valley. Average annual precipitation is 30 inches in the Sierra Nevada, 7 to 10 inches in the White and Inyo Mountains, and 4 to 6 inches on the Owens Valley floor (Groeneveld and others 1986a; 1986b; Duell 1990; Hollett and others 1991). Hydrogeologic Information Water Bearing Formations The water-bearing materials of this basin are sediments that fill the valley and reach at least 1,200 feet thick (DWR 1964). The primary productive unit is Quaternary in age and is separated into upper, lower and middle members (Danskin 1998). Upper Member. The upper member is composed of unconsolidated coarse alluvial fan material deposited along the margin of the basin, grading into layers of sand and silty clay of fluvial and lacustrine origin toward the axis of the basin.

  • Distribution and Abundance of Tule Elk in the Owens Valley January 2020
    Owens Valley Tule Elk Report 2020 Distribution and Abundance of Tule Elk in the Owens Valley January 2020 This final report fulfills the objectives that were outlined in the “Owens Valley Elk Movement” project proposal with a project start date of spring 2015 California Department of Fish and Wildlife Bishop, California Mike Morrison, Environmental Scientist Cody Massing, Environmental Scientist Dave German, Research Analyst Tom Stephenson, Wildlife Supervisor 1 Owens Valley Tule Elk Report 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2019, the minimum count for the Owens Valley population of tule elk (Cervus canadensis nannodes) was 343 elk with an annual recruitment rate of 0.37; the historic average annual population and recruitment rate were 335 and 0.30, respectively. The Owens Valley population of tule elk is distributed between lowland habitat, concentrated mainly around the Owens River and east of U.S. Highway 395, and upland habitat, which is located on the west side of Highway 395 along the base of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The lowland population is comprised of the Bishop, Tinemaha, Independence, and Lone Pine sub-herds with a current population of 196 tule elk. The upland population is comprised of the Tinemaha West, Tinemaha Mountain, Goodale, and Whitney sub-herds with a current population of 147 tule elk. There are no known cow elk occupying the Tinemaha Mountain sub-herd at present. In February 2019, 30 tule elk were translocated from the Central Valley to the Owens Valley. Eight bulls and twelve cows were translocated from the San Luis National Wildlife Refuge (SLNWR) in Los Banos on February 2 and one bull along with nine cows were translocated from the Tupman State Reserve in Buttonwillow (near Bakersfield) on February 3, 2019.

  • Death Valley Speckled Dace
    Petition to List Three Populations of Speckled Dace (Rhinichthys osculus nevadensis) in the Death Valley Region Under the Endangered Species Act: Amargosa Canyon Speckled Dace Long Valley Speckled Dace Owens Speckled Dace Owens speckled dace photo by Joe Ferreira, CDFW June 8, 2020 1 Notice of Petition Submitted to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on June 8, 2020. Petitioner Center for Biological Diversity formally requests that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (“USFWS”) expand the endangered listing of the Ash Meadows speckled dace (Rhinichthys osculus nevadensis) under the federal Endangered Species Act (“ESA”) to include speckled dace populations in Amargosa Canyon and Owens Valley, California. Based on the best available information, Amargosa Canyon and Owens Valley speckled dace are the same subspecies as Ash Meadows speckled dace, and should be listed as endangered. In addition, petitioner requests that the USFWS list Long Valley speckled dace as endangered, as a separate subspecies. Long Valley speckled dace is recognized by extensive genetic analysis as a separate subspecies, but has yet to be formally described. Alternatively, Petitioner requests that the USFWS list each of the Amargosa Canyon, Owens, and Long Valley speckled dace populations as endangered Distinct Population Segments. Long Valley speckled dace may have recently been extirpated in the wild. Owens speckled dace remain in their natural habitat in only one location. Most of the remaining habitat for Amargosa Canyon speckled dace is under imminent threat of dewatering of the Amargosa River and its tributaries due to excessive groundwater extraction. All three populations qualify for protection as endangered under the ESA.

The study site, ca. 50 square miles, encompasses Owens Peak’s eastern watershed, and ranges in elevation from 800–2600 m (2600–8400 ft). Granite rocks of the Sierra Nevada batholith underlie the study area. The eastern watershed of Owens Peak is botanically diverse, with 64 families, 230 genera, and 440 taxa currently documented. Floristic elements within the study area include the southern Sierra Nevada, Great Basin, and Mojave Desert. The flora previously was poorly documented, as discovered through a search of California’s largest herbaria (CAS/DS, RSA-POM, UC/JEPS).
